WHO AM I?
Hey, if we haven’t met before, I’m the owner and founder of 'The Oodie', one of Australia's fastest growing ecommerce brands.

Hey all - thanks so much for watching this video, I am super grateful for all our subscribers. Just a note, I started the brand The Oodie and the $500m I am referring to is sales, not profit or net worth. Sorry if I wasn't explicitly clear in this video, all my previous videos I am quite clear on these metrics if you want to watch those. Let me know if you have any questions.
Dave mate this video is so truely inspiring. Grateful and proud to see Aussie Entrepreneurs alike! ;)
Your video showed up in my suggestions. Wow congrats on what you have achieved! Great to hear a success story, and how you overcame the challenges. I have been self employed for a long time, mostly selling online, but only a tiny % of your sales. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine has nearly destroyed my business here in the UK, after a huge increase in cost of production, in March this year, of my best selling items, due to energy rises at the factory (it requires a lot of energy to make them) Since I did the price increase my sales have slumped by about 90%! I've sold them for years (regular sellers day in day out- customers love them, almost zero returns or issues), and got through the pandemic, but this is just something way worse than has ever happened before. Obviously this is nothing compared to what people in Ukraine are having to deal with, but it still has just about ruined my business, with bills to pay etc. Having watched your video, and your success in selling the weighted blankets, and Oodies, it made me think blimey, what I actually sell is probably even more perfect for Australia than Britain, and with your skills, its like an open goal for you. You'd probably sell them to every house in Australia! 🤣🤣🤣
Just update the title of the video to make it more clear. Otherwise, the omission is probably intentional.
For all my life I've always had the dream of becoming rich, and all the things I could do to help this world with it. But only ever since I was around 9 did I ever think of how that dream would come true. My head was always filled with the thought of it, but I could never think of something that someone had not already thought of in the first place. But I've thought, and thought, and I've been determined, and your story is the most inspiring one I've ever seen. Thank you for making me more determined in making my dream come true!
Davie Thank you so much, this is a very inspirational story, there is always ups and downs but all of them add more to experience. God bless!
In my 50s, I'm focused on investments for retirement. I've heard of people generating substantial passive income, like someone who earned $650K in under a year on a podcast. What's the strategy for such returns?
Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.
My financial advisor has been a game-changer, providing clarity and boosting my confidence in navigating finance. With their help, I've achieved my goals faster than I imagined. Highly recommend!
Your advisor appears skilled. How can I contact them? I've recently sold property and aim to invest in stocks, seeking guidance.
*Jennifer Leigh Hickman* is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
As someone who's into investing, I often wonder how successful investors make millions. Right now, I have $545K from selling my home, and I'm not sure what to do next. Should I invest in stocks now, or wait for a better chance?
Right now, it's smart to find a trustworthy advisor unless you're savvy on your own. As someone who runs a business in services and sells on eBay across all types of products, I can say we're facing a serious recession, and money is tight for everyone.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this coach?
Sonya lee Mitchell is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. Thank you
Great work, happy it turned out well As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
Well as you know bigger risk, bigger results, but such impeccable high-value trades are often carried out by pros.
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Actually its a Lady. Yes my go to person is a ‘Michele Katherine Singh '. So easy and compassionate Lady. You should take a look at her work.
Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her
up, to schedule a call. many thanks
Hey, I want to start investing but don't know where to begin. Any advice or contacts for help?
It's wise to seek professional guidance when building a strong financial portfolio due to its complexity.
Talking to an expert like Michelle Brown to reshape your portfolio is a smart move.
Certainly! I diversified my $20,000 portfolio across different markets
I made a net profit of around $97k by investing in high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and equity
The reality is that you cannot do it without a tried and true trader like Mechelle
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
diversifying your investments is the safest way to handle it. One way to lessen the effects of a market crisis is to distribute investments over a variety of asset classes, such as international equities, bonds, and real estate. It's critical to look for expert advice.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?
KENNA MURIEL HESSELING is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her a outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her
Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. My husband and I we are both retired with over $2m in net worth and all paid off debts. Living smart and frugal with our money, made it possible for us this early even till now we earn passively with our asset coach.
Adapt to a lifestyle be thrifty, set a budget, save money and build more streams.
Excellent choice having a great savings and more streams to earn makes life goals easier but our way of life needs better alternative, at the same time people also need to be more responsible. I know for a fact that there’s a lot of people that simply don’t make enough, I make roughly hundred plus a year and in California, rent inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make, with dependents and other obligations included, easy to end up with zero!
I resonate with what you said ma’am, you could also take advantage of some growth stocks at the moment, every pro is currently bagging on some digital surge. Coach “Emily Capehart” who is my advisor has been using every opportunity to ensure i benefit, well positioned as am also privy to improve. It completely changed the approach for me, feel free to write direct to help construct your approach as well.
How can someone know a professional coach/account manager that is trustworthy, it’s a little hard to find one these days.
Emily Capehart is the licensed fiduciary i use. She is always active on TE LEG RAM ….

40 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it. My net worth is $4 million, and I can pay my bills without stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.
I fully agree; I'm 56 years old and recently retired with approximately 1.2 million in outside retirement funds, no debt, and very few dollars in retirement funds in comparison to my portfolio balance over the last three years. To be honest, the financial advisor's role can only be ignored, not dismissed. Therefore do your research to get a reputable one and that should be any individuals main route into the market.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
my partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Carol Vivian Constable” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.
Davie! I just stumbled on your channel. When you showed the Street Rolls photo, I had major flashbacks. I used to go there whenever I popped into Blackwood and I'm pretty sure I signed you up with a trial for the Rewardle rewards system when I was doing sales for them 😂 I remember you talking about the Instagram reselling then and I had no idea that you ended up being the guy behind Oodie! So great to see that you're achieving your dreams and living your purpose man.
This is an absolutely amazing journey and inspiring story. It feels very authentic and you can tell he looks like a shy guy. Wonderful video, you just got yourself a new subscriber !
As someone who has been suffering from hardcore dyslexia all my life and struggled with school, your story seriously resonates brother 🙏🏻 I just discovered your channel and immediately I subbed! Much love and support from the US, cheers!
That was a beautiful story Davie. I’m stating to learn the fundamentals of drop shipping. It’s a tough journey for me and probably for other as well because we still in high school, work a part time job, and barely have time to work on developing the business. I have faith that we’ll all make it and God will help us all succeed with time and with the mistakes we make on this journey. Thank you Davie for making this great content and sharing your story with us. 🙌🏽❤️
Your story is so inspiring.
So many hurdles, failures and self-doubt at some point but your patience, consistency, and strong belief (mindset) that you will make it kept you going.
Glad you kept it going even while it was tough and rough.
👏👏👏💚
I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in sharing your journey. Your key takeaway of "all greatness was just a willingness to work hard and fail" really resonated with me. Your story is a testament to the fact that success is not about having it all figured out from the start, but rather about being willing to learn, pivot, and persist through failure. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and valuable insights
This is amazing. *“How to build wealth”*
The first step to building wealth is figuring out your goaIs and risk toIerance - either on your own or with the heIp of a financiaI pIanner, and foIIowing through with an inteIIigent pIan, you wiII gain financiaI growth over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
I am fortunate I made productive decisions that changed my finances (gathered over 1M in 2years) through my financiaI planner. Got my 2nd house in Feb, and hoping to retire soon. Give this a try and attain good-returns.

Wow, this video has genuinely just inspired me so much. This is a great story and I am very happy for your success as you clearly deserved it.
Thanks for sharing your story. This is very impressive. I am a new subscriber of your channel. Good luck Davie!
Quite motivational Davie. As a middle class man who is trying to have a stable finance, I’ve always been an advocate of investing in the market because it has paid off handsomely since I to got into it.
You can’t overlook the fact that it’s paramount not to get greedy but remain invested by careful study, take chances and most importantly remain patient.
A friend of mine warned me of the dangers of investing in the market. How true is this Herbert?
My colleagues had a good laugh at me when I told them of how I invested over $10k capital in stocks and how I accumulated over 5 figures within 7 months. They never believed me until I pulled out my P&L.
I know that learning the ins and outs of the market isn't for everyone, that's why personally, Jonas Herman oversees my investments.
@@Lamb982 While it may sound enticing, it is important to understand that stocks, like a fine wine or a Monet, has no standardized value. You look all good on the outside, while you wait till almost death to enjoy your wealth which presents an enormous economic(uncertainty) risk.
To be honest, I wish I had come across Herman a lot earlier. I wouldn't have wasted money buying courses without learning anything. Plus those fake gurus out there are ready to steal your money. Herman, is indeed godsent.
Watched this video twice because the hard lessons you went through and learned are absolute gold! And your Dad -- just Wow! Loved the rock lesson he taught you about not letting mistakes weigh you down. I had such a visceral response that I just had to say "Thank-You" for sharing your incredibly inspiring story! Wishing you blessings & continued success in life!❤
When I saw you blush, it means a lot to me. Because I felt the Genuine Experience coming from you.
Thank you I needed this
Great story bro. All your persistent and failures have paid off in the end. Thanks for sharing. I’ve subscribed.
I'm new to all this, feels overwhelming but I won't give up on learning this. Thanks for you clear explanation from the very beginning!
I love your father's example of carrying mistakes. Congrats on your success, we all need these stories to keep going sometimes 💪🙂
This video helps me alot devie. This video makes me understand what patient menas. Thank you alot ill never give up
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
That lesson from your father really hit me hard. Thanks for creating this video, Davie. Really helps me to reflect on my past successes and failures and work from there.
Keep it up Jerome! It really drives the message home
Great story! Congratulations on all of your success at such a young age. You're an inspiration to people all around the world.
oh man, it was so nice watching you talking about your path and the smile coming to your face all the time. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro. You're my hero.
There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. I want to know; How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings/net-worth to about $3M over time?
An effective strategy serves as a cornerstone in an investor's portfolio. As the level of risk increases, so does the potential for reward, making it essential to seek advice from experienced professionals for making sound decisions.
Professionals could make a really big difference in investing, and I think everyone should have one. There are aspects of market trend that is difficult for the untrained eyes to see.
What steps can I take to engage in this opportunity? I genuinely aim to secure my financial future and am enthusiastic about taking part.
*Karen Leigh Owens* is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
I really enjoyed your story. Humbling, real, and relatable. Excellent job my friend and congratulations!
We are so so proud of you and your amazing achievements Davie. Much love 🥰
❤
You gave birth to a legend 🙏
So happy I saw this comment. You are both just lovely! All the best to you!
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
What steps can I take to engage in this opportunity? I genuinely aim to secure my financial future and am enthusiastic about taking part.
Finding financial advisors like ‘Vivian Carol Gioia’ who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
love this story Davie. Very relatable and also very inspiring to me! im a Scotsman in Australia and im going through a tough time financially and I am also on my alone here, sont really have anyone to turn to for help, so ive been extremely down this past couple of weeks.Listening to this video and your story really opens your eyes, in life we go through tough and low stages. but we just need to push through. you certainly gained a subscriber here. thanks
Keep your head up friend. With the lows come the HIGH'S! I pray God leads you to dreams you'd never thought would be possible!
Your work is amazing Davie! Keep encouraging, inspiring and empowering people the way you do! Big hug from Barcelona!
Im currently feel like im on the rock bottom, but your experiences really motivates me, seems im not alone after all and i just need to enjoy the process, never know what the future brings, just wanna be successful for my family and others. thankyou Davie, hope i could meet you one day.
Finally someone who is well-off and humble!!! I absolutely love it brother.

You got this!

You deserve it, love from Singapore!
Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing your story, Davie. Well deserved success 👏
How moving and genuine! Your father's lesson struck a chord. What a remarkable man you are and thank you for sharing your inspirational story. Kuddos to you and your beautiful family and friends!
this guys story when he was young is literally me, I felt dumb and thought everyone around me were geniuses. It's not even a question if you are gonna make it. Don't listen to people who don't believe in you even when it's your closest friends and family. Stand strong and pull through. With this mindset you can conquer any obstacle in your way.
With this mindset its all just *a matter of time* and *that is* under your control.

Hi im Vietnamese and i was so taken aback that u said u had been into roll so well. Really proud of it and i love this video so much that it gives me bunch of motivation 👍🏻 thx u so much! appreciate it
As a newbie about to invest, you must have these three things in mind
1. Have a long term mindset.
2. Be willing to take risk.
3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.
Oh please, how can someone get to speak with Expert Johnson Nikon ?
Thanks for the contact info,
At first i was afraid too before i gave it a try and realized fear kills dream more than failure.
That was by far the most humbling and 'matter of fact' success story...especially from such a young guy! no arrogance - no BS!!!
👍 Absolutely! Inspiring story indeed! 🤩

You are seriously inspiring, Davie. Thank you so much from a fellow (albeit older) Aussie trying to make it big and develop generational wealth.
If Xavier comments, you know the Creator slaps.
Wait Xavier?😂😂😂😂
What are you doing here 😂😂😂
Xavier in the building🙌
Very inspiring...I love the fact that you always bounce back.. Am learning a lot from this...more blessings..
Thanks for telling your story. So interesting and inspiring. Never give up on your dreams 🥰
I love how your parents were supportive and that you took those failed business's and kept going. Very inspiring.
Nice
u must thank your parents...may god protect them from any and every harm...lots of love
I'm at that all the way down spot, again.... Divorce, failure after failure, but sometimes my "never quit" mentality costs me as well - so seeing you in this raw form is awesome and it does help people.... Brother thank you from all of us that needed to hear and see this.... God bless you for not keeping this to yourself 👍
I feel you brother, just coming out of my dark night as well. It's tough as hell to keep going but you can do it mate!
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $670K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
Absolutely, making informed and thoughtful decisions when it comes to finances is crucial. Whether it's budgeting, investing, or managing debt, having a plan and taking the right steps can lead to financial security and success.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I've been considering hiring an advisor for a long. Could you please direct me to your advisor?
Financial professionals like NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE often bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, helping clients develop and implement sound financial strategies tailored to their specific needs and goals. It's crucial for individuals to recognize the importance of seeking expert advice, particularly when it comes to managing investments and mitigating risks.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Alright so a few things here. I’ve watched this video and listened to it very carefully and thoroughly and I have to say, congratulations to you buddy, you have a good set of head and brains screwed between your shoulders. You are a clear case where luck means opportunity and effort meets success. I have actually lived in Australia for quite some years, didn’t manage to be able to stay due to how nearly impossible was to get a permanent visa at the time but I know enough about the country and its economy to say that you were very lucky to have the circumstance of being born and raised in a country where its economy is basically the envy of the world, and you made the most of it. You sound so humble and grateful about the whole process and the way you went about it speaks millions on how your mindset was built and how your drive and grit were met by a country where that kind of success is actually achievable. Well done!!!!! All the best to you and you deserve all the credit!
Thanks mate!
I really love your story. You are such a great story teller and deserve this success. Enjoy it and thank you for the motivation.
Thank you sooo much! I've started my own business to learn from it and make money from my own passion. Honestly, it's harder than working with a company in marketing, but this is why I love it so much. And of course, I have failed many times since I first started. That's why people around me don't believe in what I do and keep asking me to get a real job. Without any support, it's harder to get through tough times, but I'm so happy I found your video! 😃❤
You're so welcome!
Wow - not what I expected at all. This was a real success story - thanks so much for sharing it with others. 🏆
Thank you, thank you so much. At nearly 76 I lost my wonderful husband to a horrible disease Lewy Body Dementia, it’s been a huge journey learning to live without my best friend. Your wonderful story has really inspired me. Many people cast you off because of age but you have inspired me to push through, ignore the brush off and live the life I have left to fullest. My goals have been kindness, loving and a person of integrity.. I think you’ve certainly fulfilled those. Your Mum and dad must be so proud of you. God bless you in your journey ❤
Your story gives life to the saying, "Failure is a prelude to success". Congrats on maintaining that belief in yourself and pushing the boundaries others expected of you.
Love that!
and thank the slave workers in China for giving this young man his happiness.
But you never hear about the 99.9% of people that failed and get nowhere, so ''failure is a prelude to even more failure" is more applicable and reality for most people. Like all "business advice" or courses it's not really that helpful.
Obviously you gotta be in it to win it, but a vast majority of people will never make it and those that do often had/have something you can't teach -- they got incredibly lucky. Such as being at the right place at the right time, or a roll of the dice favouring their attempt at an idea being noticed or taking off, and not the thousand other people doing the same exact thing who were just too early or too late.
While sitting on your ass gets you nowhere and gives you a less than zero chance, the reality is for every 1 person that makes it there's 100 working equally as hard on the same idea, maybe some working even harder, but fate just doesn't favour them.
I can relate so much to this. While still being in uni, I just can't see myself doing a 9-5. I have failed (learned) in the past setting up online stores and I have now recently opened my third online store. I have a good feeling about this one though and I am going to make it work. My mindset is now in the right place and I am ready to do this and make it work before I graduate. All the best mate, you've done well and so cool that you are the Oodie king! Keep going, mate, I can only imagine what it feels like being so successful and I'm excited! 😜

I'm 25 year old entrepreneur, running my own business and making up to $15k a month in passive income and I had a hunch since high school that school and college in general would be a huge waste of time for me. If any of you are in school or any education system for that matter getting bad grades, don't feel bad for not excelling at something that pretty much amounts to being a 9-5 slave factory.
@@tedstersscience1637 Hello, im 45 yr old struggling father. I hope to create an online store myself but unfortunately im not tech savvy. Would you be interested/available to help? I would certainly pay for the help in assisting. Thank you!
I'm so glad for you. Even if I have failed, I feel happy to see you succeed!!! Aloha from Hawaii
Good for you man, genuinely glad UA-cam showed me this. I am at my lowest at the moment... keep up the good work
Me to brother, we will conquer !
What an inspiring story! I really love how your dad made you realize that mistakes aren't meant to weigh us down. I also dream of having my own e-commerce brand someday but just haven't found the right product yet. Your video on how to get started with email marketing helped me start a career in email marketing. I really admire your grit. You deserve all your success, Davie!
Awesome to hear! Glad to be a part of your journey :)
So many people fawning over someone on the internet of whom they know absolutely nothing about but soak up every word like it was God Himself.b
Now is the best moment! Go and go, you are just good enougth
Given the current uncertain circumstances, it's crucial to grasp effective financial management, prudent investing, and adeptly maneuvering through economic downturns. However, my main focus revolves around boosting my stagnant reserve of $240k, which has remained idle for far too long with minimal to no growth. While I'm committed to the long-term approach, the erosion of my savings due to inflation and the daily depreciation of my portfolio demand immediate attention and a solution.
The present market conditions could offer chances to enhance earnings quickly, yet to implement such a plan, expertise is essential.
Undeniably factual. Despite my absence of prior investing acumen, I ventured into investments pre-pandemic and managed to amass a profit of about $450k within that year. Essentially, I solely relied on professional counsel.
Lately, I've been researching advisors, but the market updates I've encountered haven't been very positive. Who's your guide?
'Laurelyn Gross Pohlmeier' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I conducted an online search for her complete name and located her page. I sent an email and arranged a meeting with her; now, I wait in anticipation for her response.
Thank you - this gives me courage! Well done mate, you deserve your success

What an inspirational story Davie ♥ You totally deserved it.
Congratulations, you Deserve All the Best!!!
Amazing story, my wife's just about to start her on thing on Instagram, she's been looking after our 4 kids for the last 13 years so I think this story will be an inspiration to her.
Great job! I love seeing others succeed but what I love more is when they share their stories with others so we can take those learnings and apply them. Thanks!!
there is literally no learnings to be had here. name one.
The lesson from your dad with the rocks in the shoes was so eye opening! We tend to carry on the failures of the past and they stop us from moving forward and progressing. Loved hearing your story and can definitely relate! You should be so proud of how far you've come Davie! 💞✨

Beautiful story...definitely needed this today. Thank you! I need to succeed!!
Inspiring friend. You never gave up on failures and succeeded. God bless.
This over-diversification is such a big problem early on. I've done it too. Just not being able to manage your attention and getting dragged every which way with a ton of side hustles. To be fair if you're going into it from a truly entrepreneurial headspace then I think it's probably worth learning those lessons until you find what works for you but most people can benefit from just getting really good at the one thing and instead of trying to shift into another business entirely, just focus the learning on improving or evolving what they have.
Warren Buffett said something similar. Diversifying just because of diversifying is really really bad strategy. He always invested in industries he knew how they operate.
Wow! Love it! Particularly the part expressing all your past failures teaching you the skills you needed to be successful now. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your story in such a real and down to earth way.
Yes! Thank you!
Such an insipiration mate, thank you for making this video I plan on strating my own business soon and you inspiration will help heaps
That was really inspiring . For the first time in my life I listened the whole video without skipping a second ...😃
I don’t know why that made me so emotional when he told the story about his dad with the rock in the shoe. It’s so true. You can’t carry around anything from the past because it will destroy your present and future. Life isn’t perfect and the best lessons are the painful ones. Be grateful, learn the lessons you need and move forward. I’m struggling with this right now.
Totally right.
Agree.100%
I went thru a lot for 3 years doing around 2 thousand a month with expenses around 4 thousand a month.
After I went thru all that, I knew what I had to do and started making 4 than 8 ten 10 and now 30 k a month.
I learned thru difficulties and challenges.
Thanks for the video Davie. You are a great example of how small things make great things. I am working on my manufacturing business and just got a meeting with Walmart.
Never thought I would be in that sort of position. Thank you!!
Such a beautiful soul. I can relate to you. You bounced back way better. Your dad is amazing with the rock in your shoes story. You got up and never let that fire burn out and now you can buy an island! 👍🏝️
Hey your storytelling is amazing i got inspired and motivated and made me subscribe your channel with just single video.I watched your video twice and Noted Your journey and mistakes I can learn from. Thanks for sharing your journey it was really inspiring.
Great story. Love the lesson that your father taught you with the rocks and shoes.
It's something so simple, yet so impactful :)
After watching this I feel really motivated. I'm still a high school student so i dont know much about all this, but im gonna try and do my best in exploring and hopefully making something out of it. Thanks a bunch!
Just loved the story. UA-cam recommended me this and I obliged and it was worth watching.
Love from my land, Kashmir brother ❤❤.
Davie, Just wanted to say I have been following your journey for years!!! Congratulations for everything you have achieved! Now on Shark Tank!! WOW!! You are still that same (Very) young man I watched on one of your first videos! The reason I switch onto Shark Tank every Week is YOU! You are inspirational and now doing your series of videos is going to encourage so many more people to 'have a go'. Including me!!! Thanks!!!!!
Great story :) BUT please ppl don't think school is useless because some ppl made it without it. You still need a good base foundation ( a degree, any other paper ) to go back in case you fail in business or change your mind 🤗 Speaking from experience. I came from family business background, but still did a degree, launched my brand and change my mind becasue I realized it's better and easier to just skip business and go straight to investing, you gonna end up in investing anyway so why not skip all the "hard work" and go to the final stage 🤭🤷♀
I love how your parents were supportive and that you took those failed business and kept going very inspiring
Love the energetic video, was really motivating, Hope to make a big brand soon and meet you in Australia. Keep grinding!!
A lot of people need to hear this including me, thank you, Davie :)
Thank you SOOO much, I really needed this video as motivation for a 15-year-old girl that just want to find a way to help her parents and start with just $0 dollars....
Great work! You'll find that you will have a better launch if you find a way to earn some income first to fuel your endevours.
Your dad is a real good father. Reminds of my dad. RIP. He told me he was proud of me after achieving a very small goal. The confidence it gives you is just unreal.
What an awesome story thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the story its nice to see people who deserve it succeed God Bless
Congratulations mate 😊 this is really nice to see free advice without links and sign up just genuine guy sharing his story. You deserve it. I come up many amazing ideas for a buisiness and miss them or don't do it as I am a full time single Dad and I get worried about it failing. So keep hustling the old flips. But I think it's time I start one of my ideas.
Very inspiring and relatable 4 years freelancing so many ups and downs but the skills are racking up. Thanks again
Aww... this is such a great story... it shows that you're just a normal person and anybody can be successful as well. Most people give up when it gets hard, but sometimes those failures are great learning lessons. Thank you for the inspiration to have bigger dreams!
Absolutely!!
@@DavieFogarty stop replying to scammers' comments, you're giving them legitmacy.
I drive past your 3 shops every week here in Adelaide and I feel inspired every time. Also, congrats on becoming a new Shark, I look forward to watching you! Well done Davie, you're awesome.
